Chris Baker celebrates his recent signing with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hit the jackpot in free agency, signing several star-studded players to new deals. Among the list of talented playmakers the Buccaneers were able to land defensive tackle Chris Baker. The Bucs signed Baker to a three-year deal shortly after free agency began and he will now be joining Gerald McCoy and Robert Ayers in an effort to upgrade the Bucs’ pass rush and add some much needed depth to the defensive line.

To celebrate his singing with the Buccaneers, Baker shared the following photo of a Bucs themed cake of his jersey on his SnapChat account this weekend in preparation for training camp which is set to kick off shortly.

The Bucs surely made a splash in free agency when they signed the 29-year-old to aid Mike Smith’s surging defense. Baker racked up 100 tackles, 9.5 sacks and five forced fumbles in the past two seasons with the Redskins.

He originally entered the league in 2008 when he signed with the Broncos as a free agent. He spent the past five seasons with the Redskins where he started all 16 games in 2016 and was the team’s most disruptive playmaker. He finished the season with 4.5 sacks, 47 tackles, two forced fumbles and was a powerful weapon on Washington’s defense throughout his tenure with the Redskins. He also played 782 snaps last season and is poised to fortunately make an immediate impact for Tampa Bay.
